Hi everyone If you are in DesignCon 2012, we would like to invite you to the two workshops that Apache Design Inc (an ANSYS subsidiary) is hosting. I have appended the details below. There is no cost to attend the workshops, but registration is required. Please register for your complimentary Expo Pass and select one or both workshops during the registration process. Thanks and see you in DesignCon, Aveek. Session SS-200: CPS Methodology for Cost-Down and/or Reliability Wednesday, February 1, 2012 - 10:15am to 12:15pm Ballroom H, Santa Clara Convention Center This session discusses how the performance and cost demands of today's chip designs require a comprehensive chip-package-system approach to analysis. Industry experts will share their insights and expertise with case studies and real design examples for chip-package-system (CPS) convergence, and will discuss various aspects of analysis methodologies and technologies in terms of modeling, extraction and simulation. Featured Speakers: Dr. Mondira Pant, Intel Power Delivery Network Design of Modern Microprocessors: Getting it Right the First Time Dr. Amit Agrawal, Cisco Signal and Power Integrity Challenges for High Speed System Board Design Session SS-201: CPS for 3D-IC and Power-Thermal-Mechanical-Electrical Applications Wednesday, February 1, 2012 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm Ballroom H, Santa Clara Convention Center This session focuses on the challenges created by 3D stacked die and 2.5D Silicon Interposer with TSV chip designs. Industry experts will examine modeling and simulation needs for 3D-IC design and explore methodologies for power delivery network analysis, chip-to-chip communication, and thermal integrity using real case studies. Featured Speakers: Dr. Tim Hollis, Micron Modeling and Simulation Challenges in 3-D Memories Ivor Barber, LSI Modeling and Simulation Challenges in Evolving 3D-IC Formats Dr. Simon Burke, Xilinx Challenges and Solutions to Practical 3D-IC Design ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
